Paul: Of COURSE the official line of Barrett and cronies is going to say that customer acceptance is strong for P-IV.. to say anything else would be an admission of failure.... they're going to crank up the propaganda and the marketing machine as much as possible in order to give the image that everyone wants a P-IV.. when that clearly hasnt been the case... they just are hoping no one listens to sources or analysts, and ignored sales numbers. I am sure down the road they are hoping/gambling that customer acceptance of P-IV will be strong.. they have no other choice but to say so.. but right now.. wheres the evidence in sales numbers of this so called strong acceptance? Tha analysts and sources sure dont see it

Re: Otellini noted that Intel is now shipping initial McKinley engineering samples to OEM customers. McKinley-based systems are expected to reach the marketplace next year. The first Hammers are to sample in Q4 and be in production in Q1 of next year. Intel started working on their 64 bit processor 6 years before AMD started working on theirs. Both products are scheduled to enter the market at the same time. AMD's product will be smaller, less expensive to manufacture, and will run the existing software base. Intel's product will be larger, making it more difficult and expensive to manufacture, and has terrible performance unless software is completely rewritten for it. Intel's 64 bit chip is expected to enter the market next year at 1.4GHZ when AMD's 64 bit chip comes in at 2GHZ. What happened? Dan
